Pros

Easy to find very innovative and motivating work. Very smart colleagues. Learnt how to write well and express my thoughts.

Cons

As with big companies some parts of the company like Lab126 can have a lot of bureaucracy. Perks are not great. Frugal company. RSUs vesting in 1st and 2nd yr is very small.
